Destroy All Humans PSP Canned

Bwah? Destroy All Humans! Big Willy Unleashed was in development for PSP? Never received the memo. At any rate, it’s been officially canned. Publisher THQ revealed today that it decided to pull the plug on the PSP version specifically due to “control issues,” according to a company rep.

Big Willy Unleashed was designed by [a] Wii developer specifically for the Wii. When it was ported over to the PSP, the controls simply didn’t translate well, and instead of pushing out the product with translated controls, it was cancelled.

So, uh, I’d say this is a shame and all that, but it’s a bit hard to get disappointed when you never knew the game existed. Good to hear that they ended up canning it though, rather than releasing a sub-par port with tacky controls.

Chilly Willy says:

So rather than have a programmer spend two days and fix the controls, they're going to can it after spending many thousands of dollars porting it. Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhhh. That makes LOADS of sense. :rolleyes:

I'm actually bummed to hear this. I rented games from GameFly a few months ago & was pleased to see "Destroy All Humans PSP" in the future lineup. I was looking forward to having some portable alien mayhem ahead of me. Now I'm a sad panda :-(
